Since were doing pairs of locos this week, here's a pair of cars:



Both advertising Wilson's meats, but the white one is Varney and the Orange is Life-Like.

Here's a pair of Athearn streamliners. I was planning on putting a set together, but I haven't had any luck finding more of them. I also haven't been able to find a window set for the dome car Anyway, here they are

I don't know who makes this (nothing on the bottom..unless it's hiding from me), but I have 2 of these. I'd need a wide lense to come even close capture these for the "pairs" this month.

Hey, that's pretty unusual! Neat custom! I was thinking of taking a Vista Dome passenger car and turning it into a Vistaboose. Not that I think I have the skills yet to pull it off, but it would look awesome.

I've got a few of those SF cabooses around here as well, but I don't have that one. I love the slogans that show up now and then.

Imposing streamliners, DaCheez. I'm liking the black roof.

Axisracing, at a guess I'd say you've got some custom printed AHM baggage cars. Also very cool.

Didn't have any double cars before, now I do.


50' Piggybacks, each a different road number but don't hold that against them. Had to bend one of the trailer stands back to the vertical, still a bit crooked. Shoddy work, Athearn!

Hi Axisracing. The Carstens bagage car is one of two Special Run cars made by Athearn. They made a Bagage Car "Fredon" 1973 and a Observation Car "Ramsey" 1969. Carl
